Re:

Well, I asked that you didn't embarrass my unrestored bike, so on Sunday you did.
A great ride on a beautiful day........you commented that the finish on your bike 'popped' in sunlight, and my word it's a good-looking ride!

Nice one mate, looks superb!

You have got a bit of an elder Jacky Durand look about you, judging by the selfie!

Cheers Mike,

If I count them all then I'm up to 7 racers inc the woman's Panasonic
(the 2 x Castoramas, 1 x Panasonic 531, 1 x Pug 753, 1 x Concorde, 1 x womans Panasonic and 1 x Cadet I've just taken in).

Only really ride 3 of them have 2 wall hangers. The womans one will go to its new home soon and don't know what I'm doing with the cadet yet.

Also have a Girfter and a Andy Ruffell Panasonic team rep BMX
